Buenos Aires Verde

It's rare that I give out a rating of 5 cows on any restaurant, but this one in my humble opinion, deserves it. It is a little bit on the expensive side but it's hard to find a good cheap vegetarian restaurant in Buenos Aires.

I went in January 2017. That day they had 6 choices for the meal of the day. There are three different options for the meal of the day. Option 1 is 175 pesos, approximately US $11. That includes one of the meals of the day plus a drink. The next option is 195 pesos or about US $12 which includes the plate plus a drink plus dessert or tea/coffee. The third option is 220 pesos or about US$ 13.75. This includes the plate plus a smoothie or glass of wine dessert tea/coffee. I decided to just go ahead and get the most expensive option so I could try a little bit of everything. I ended up getting the "Ensalada Raw" which was absolutely delicious, if not on the sweet side. For my drink I got the red fruit smoothie made with almond milk. The desert I chose was a slice of apple cake with vanilla ice cream. And then I got coffee. The meal I got was definitely not suitable for diabetics as the salad was sweet, the smoothie was sweet, and the dessert was sweet.

I usually don't spend this much on lunch or even dinner for that matter but this place I guess was kind of a splurge for me. It's probably worth it and I'm sure you'll like the food. There were several foreigners there as I believe this place is listed in one of the tourist books. Also you can get just the plate of food either to go or delivery for only 145 pesos, that's about US $9. They post their daily menu choices on their Facebook page.

We've been to the Calle Vidal restaurant and it was amazing.
Nice decoration. Plenty of vegan and gluten free options, already specified on the menu so you don't need to ask the staff.

O melhor restaurante vegano de Buenos Aires. Cardapio com muitas opcoes, comida maravilhosaaaa e atendimento nota 10! Vou sentir saudades!

If you are in Buenos Aires, go here. I'm beyond excited. I went with my vegan boyfriend and omnivore mum and all of us were enjoying our food to the max. Big portions, which is great as with that food you don't want to stop eating. Get that pizza, by the way.... I normally do not like pizzas, but I was binging on that piece straight out of heaven. I was too full to eat deserts, but my boyfriend is having loud dreams about it every now and then still. Good prices (not dirt cheap, but for a restaurant with this quality really good).

It's not all vegan, it's vegetarian... but there are many vegan options.

They have breakfast and lunch menu with a lot of vegan options.
The staff was ok, but the food is remarkable, with lot of flavour and the portion was gigantic, for sure they know what they are doing. I didn't came back to eat again because my time in buenos aires was short and i needed to discover another restaurants, but if i lived in Buenos Aires, probably i would eat here every week.

I've been here several times. The have a great vegan and vegetarian menu with many options. The portions are pretty big.

Try the raw chocolates and desserts, they are soooo good!

I ordered a red quinoa and veggie sandwich with a rice pilaf and a green drink at this Palermo vegetarian restaurant. I have not been having much luck finding delicious Vegan food in Buenos Aires, but the food here is very tasty and full of flavor.

I like that they also serve raw dishes and breakfast.

A solid restaurant for any meal.

Fui hoy y tuve una experiencia excelente. los canelones crudos/raw eran muy ricos y el postre crudo también increíble. volveré

Lots of clearly marked vegan options. Serving sizes are very big. I'm not usually big on raw stuff but I had an amazing raw pizza here with delicious cashew cheese. Also had a very tasty juice.

A pleasant restaurant with a very friendly staff. I had a HUGE salad that was really tasty, the promised smoked cashew cheese having been really a great surprise, as were the raw crackers (I'm not really into raw but they were just good).

An advice: order your salad with dressing apart - mine came with a bit too much of it and above all tasted like it had soaked for a while!

This is one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants in Palermo. The menu includes vegan and raw dishes. Creative, delicious, filling salads.
Friendly service and reasonable prices. Good selection of desserts.
Highly recommended.
If you plan to arrive after 20:00, call and make a reservation.

Fui esta noche con mi novio, atraída por la gran variedad de platos Raw que figuraban en la carta. Fue una desilusión que de todos los platos principales raw que tenían, solo uno era apto para veganos. Todo el resto tenía huevo o queso (?). Esperaba tener mi revancha con los postres, una página completa de postres Raw y absolutamente ninguno apto. Todos contienen miel. De hecho hay solo dos opciones de postre para veganos: la torta Vegana del día y los helados. La comida por lo demás muy rica y abundante. Pero es una pena tantos platos raw con ingredientes de origen animal, cuando debería ser la comida mas limpia de todas.

Options of all kinds- raw, smoothies, soups, deserts. Almond milk to go!! (Hard to find in this city)

Some of the dishes here are so weeeeird but VERY good! Really daring fusions, but I loved it. Went here three times.

A pesar de ser raw/vegetariano, tiene muchas opciones veganas! :) También venden productos veganos (hummus, semillas, postres, etc.) y viandas semanales.
Lindo lugar para citas o para ir con amigos. Incluso a los no vegetarianos les van a gustar los platos de ahí! ;)

fantastic, delicious food! very varied and creative. I couldn't really find enough adjectives for it. very serious and well managed as well.

The menu is very creative, they have a lot of different starters, and it tastes amazing! I really enjoyed having dinner there! And they also have a good mini store, we bought some nice organic tea! The pasta is awesome! Really, really good!

Wow, this place is awesome! The food is amazing, so well presented and really creative.

They serve big portions, so you should come here really hungry :)

There are many vegan and raw options as well as gluten free. They also have ice creams that taste heavenly!! (I tasted the chocolate w/ choco nibs, passion fruit and raspberry: all totally excellent)

Update: I've visited this place 4 times now. I even took my grandparents and they totally loved it! Specially my grand dad who is diabetic and has to cut down on sugar, he was really surprised to find a healthy food restaurant that doesn't have boring salads.

Wonderful service! They made up a simple dish for my 9yr old which we were thankful for. The Vegan options are clearly marked (hallelujah !!) best Vegan pizza and a wonderful risotto too. Brownie was dry but the Vegan ice cream was super creamy and tasty. Huge portions and great prices. The food here had more flavor than anything else we experienced in BA. A must for sure!!!

Me pedí la hamburguesa de mijo con tofu vegana y el smoothie de durazno y coco. Estaba todo increíble!! Me comi casi todo, no podía más! El plato era muy abundante, estaba riquísimo. Muy recomendable.

Good and original food but the service it's not so good.

I went here several times during my stay in may 2013. They owners &staff were absolutely amazing &so welcoming &helpful. The pizza was the best vegan pizza i ever had in my life, it was so so tasty, i still crave it. The chef knows exactly how to feed a vegan. The food is very well presented & very creative with such a variety of colours. The owner spoke to me about how she &her partner learned to cook like that. I tried the nori wraps aswell with salad &they were amazing too. I wanted everything on the menu, wish i could bring chefs with me on my travels

It's a must for vegs in BA, very chill compared to the rest of the restaurants in the area (Palermo), and the people are very nice; the waitresses and the chef are the sweetest. Everything's clean and cute. If you're vegan, you can ask for the cheeses to be replaced by soy cheese, but don't be too enthusiastic about dessert, everything has either honey or eggs, but the juices are delicious so it's a good idea to order one for dessert. There's a tiny mini organic market. It's a good pick!

I visited here twice with my family. The food seems a bit hit and miss, some things we ordered were amazing (the salads, quinoa crepe and vegan ice cream) but others weren't especially tasty (the salad sushi type main course and uncooked and unseasoned tofu, which is one of my pet hates).

If I could suggest one thing though it'd be that their menu could do with better labeling of vegan and raw products.

I love this place. Is sweet, charming and calm. I love the written posters in the wall, because goes very well with the essence of being vegan or vegetarian. One of my favorite things to order is a smoothie, made with almond milk and berries, oh, is so lovely. They sell bags for make vegetal milks, that is amazing, because is so hard to find it.
One of the things I've didn't like is that the raw products that they offer, are sweetened with honey.
Anyway, I think is one of the best places in Buenos Aires.

I was happy with Buenos Aires Verde. There is everything I would hope for on the menu plus a simple, unasuming atmosphere, bright and friendly. There are also many raw choices. I will return here.

Although it looks like one of those freaky 70's hippie vegetarian places, the food is really good! It's really veggie comfort food. The squash soup is outstanding! There are not many vegan protein options, but they will add tofu to a dish if you ask. Argentinian waitstaff in general hasn't really mastered the concept of service yet, but the servers are nice and it seems that they care, even if they aren't that experienced. This was my favorite veggie restaurant in Buenos Aires & we tried plenty of them. And don't miss the berry pie w/ vegan vanilla ice cream for dessert. YUM!

While strolling around town we went there for a almond milk with lime smoothie. Mhhhmmmmm soo good!!!! Want to go back right away when thinking of it. They didn't have the pear one so they changed it with apple chai almond drink for my boyfriend. Very good too. The sandwich was nice sized with fresh salad and nice mayonnaise. I wished they had a vegan dessert but nothing really. Have to go back before I leave. I have to try a main dish.

This is a cute little all-vegetarian place. The food is generally simple yet flavorful. They make some killer salads. I just wish they marked vegan things on the menu to make it a little easier to decide. You must get a smoothie here! Oh, and the raw vegan ice cream is great! The cocoa/cacao nib flavor was crazy-good.

The best place in Buenos Aires. Outstanding food and service.
